Re: !998 buick regal gs nightmare CAR

1998 buick regal gs. My problem is when i throw my turn singal on at a stop or coming to a stop the car completly shuts off.

This sounds like a bad ground somewhere and circuit is backfeeding.......did this just happen out of the blue, or did it happen AFTER some work was done on the vehicle? Does this vehicle have any after market options installed on it? As DeltaP suggested, check those connections....



ALSO now i have the problem with when that occurs i try to start it and now it wont do anything! THEN once started the brake light and the anti lock light with the trac light is on

Ok, that means codes are set....places like AutoZone will scan your car for codes for free.....



and wont let me move the gear shifter out of park!

When you can't move the vehicle out of Park, you have a problem with the BTSI solenoid circuit.......to the right of your shifter should be a small rectangular cap......when the car starts and can't be shifted out of Park, with your foot on the brake, remove the cap and using a long pen or screwdriver, insert it into the hole and push down a lever....this will allow you to shift out of park...
